Killing Joke - Prozac People Lyrics

liked them when paul raven was on bass

I can only listen to this particular album with high quality headphones, the complexity of input is so extreme, it is the only way to pick out everything that is going on.

Brilliant album. Love art work.

Incredible band

10 people must be on Prozac.

The Orange stuff is worse!

great and criminally underrated band.

hands down one of the UK's absolute finest bands. when this album came out, countless other British bands were worshipping the Gallagher brothers and trying to emulate their sound. (the mission, and even the pet shop boys to name a few), but this band kept doing what they were great at. and making cryptic music. I very much prefer synthesizers to guitars, but Killing joke are one of the rare exceptions to where when they get heavy, they just rock hard.

hell ya this is good stuff

"I took a green and yellow pill. washed down with filter coffee 'til it kicked in" -written by someone who's never taken anti-depressants, obviously.

Always One Step Ahead of the Game.

What Does It Take To Get You There? Drugs, Not Enough Obviously.

THE WORLD IS SO BLOWN AWAY WITH CORRUPTION, DECEIT AND LIES. DRUGS ARE THE TRANSCENDENT TO A HIGHER STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS. LOVE IS THE LAW.

The Key to unlock that in Brain Chemistry. Everyone is their own boss. The Mind in a state of flux is conscious evolution. The Answer is in your Head. Comforting to know a physician.

dark song...

Faith in Brain Chemistry. The World of Chaos in my Mind.

I'm one of the prozac people for better or worse

I was one of the Prozac (and Abilify, Cipralex, Wellbutrin, Celexa, Vortioxetine, Effexor, Pristiq, Zoloft, Paxil, etc., etc.) people too! At least I know I'm in good company...

We all were at one point or still continuing. I interpret prozac to being tuned out or glassy eyed or numb does the trick.

the real signification for depression

been meaning to check this band out for years, kept forgetting . goood shit for sure..

I used to see killing joke a lot in the early days and when the split I saw youths band play as well and saw them a couple off years ago I met my girlfriend 4 the Dec 1984 at a killing joke gig thanks killing joke

CORRECTION! From the 2003 LP 'Killing Joke'

But it isn't?

Doh! Of course it isn't ! My error!!!

I woke up in the darkness and i tried to see the clock

It was four a.m.

I was curled up like a foetus and my muscles were stretched taut

I couldn't face the burden of another week of worry

I was broken

I took a green and yellow pill. washed down with filter coffee

'til it kicked inGet me out

Keep me up

Level me outI was isolated by the way i thought and felt

They saw my moodswings

I travelled down the longitude of opposite emotions

I bi-polar

In the north they saw my upside. my excitable and optimistic spirit

In the south they saw my anger and my tears and my despair

They saw my moodswingsGet me out

Keep me up

Level me outI was one of the prozac people

I was one of the prozac peopleDon't monitor this guinea pig for research any more

I will try again

Pharmaceutical conglomerates just count me as a unit

For their product

Identify the enemy. remove the source of fear

Start to change my life

It's a false state of elation

You can join the prozac nation

If you want toGet me out

Keep me up

Level me outI was one of the prozac people

I was one of the prozac people

Think Democracy is in my top 3 Killing Joke albums along with Revelations and Extremities, dirt and various repressed emotions.

Martin Atkins destroying the ´Extremeties, dirt and various repressed emotions ` album .
I even wished he would had stayed , top notch drummer .

Why this band isn't the biggest in the universe baffles me, but for some elusive, maybe selfish reason I'm glad it is not so

listen to this song's lyrics. do you think most people want to listen to a song about having your life ruined by Prozac? of course not. they want music about cold beer, tractors, pickup trucks, da hood, being raw, and "makin doze boys go cryzee!"

wow not only this band is great, its fans are cool too!

The first reason is that they do not want to be the biggest in the universe.

I think they are huge in 'my Universe' (😉) and I know them for eaons. Regards 😁

I will take a spanner in the works over being center of the universe. I too used to be a sheep among the sheepled masses when young and naive. All changes when you either find your voice, cannabis, or start reading outside approved literature while growth in your learning.

I think this is my favorite KJ song.

more prozac, less people...

my thoughts too.

Beautiful

A most brutal song.

ironically this sounds a bit like a nirvana song

nope at all but the melodic part of the vocals do sound a bit like fear factory!

No. No it doesn't.

Bill Hundley Actually KJ was a huge influence on Nirvana. And Dave Grohl worked with KJ on their second eponymous album.

well fucking done

" they have so much music. I haven't even begun to hear it all. curiosity kills cats but we have nine lives to give away? "

so you are an adult parenting ? cuz your SO RIGHT !!!!!!!!
but if you dont have youngs around in your ENVIRONMENT ...
my point is ... its NOT EASY these days to raise someone "proper" meaning freedom of thought etc ...

E S S sounds like all the other U S or USSR or EU ....
guess he had a VISION !!!!!

HOLY SHIT !
Discovered them through Danny Carey's website ... THIS IS ABSOLUTE GENIUS !

Actually I'll tell you truth, I was pissed out of my head and ended up on a train track, the train went right over my left leg below the knee. No word of a lie.Can't remember a fucking thing ! I woke up in hospital bed with a morphine drip to press :-) I'm fine now on my plastic leg. Very rarely drink, it's fucking shit. I like tramadol now :-) Fuckin great track, this :)

Davidius Doremouseius Thank you for sharing! :)

drinking more and more to calm down from that constant frenzy... and what happens when you're given a stimulant on daily basis and you try to sedate it with alcohol... well that nasty "accident". well i'm glad you're out of it... btw that nasty accident could happen even without booze, it just make it more likely to spark off, cheers.

yeah it's a "bad" experience, but nonetheless a really valuable one, interesting enough when you got those experiences you're always the one who gets even more victimized, something to to think about... and i did it. anyway when they trick you into get that shit you don't realize what's happening to you untill the "accident" happens. it's kinda like you're doing coke every day for a while, your brain goes off. here it comes the booze, again, maybe you aren't aware of what going on, but you start

I wish there was a guitar tab for this...

simply great tune

Prozac, eh...I was on it before I had a nasty 'accident'..(, prozac and vodka, 2 of those socially sanctioned anaesthetics...)

UK is Prozacastan.

@SeanMcG95 you're gay!

@Psymon1968 depression is gay

GONNA CUM O_O <3

GET Me OUT!!! The session drummer on this is a bit of a drummer superstar by the way/ this is Aural pleasure at it's finest

@Zehydra106 Hey! don't say that on my video. It's "Fucking" or it's nothing. :P

Suffering from depression this song says so much to me,

Bought this album like almost 8 years ago. I didn't know it came out so long ago.

@kingit That may well be so but taking Prozac won't help it sound any better!
